Praise for this book
"Stephen Graham Jones has lit a slow-burning candle that grows into a forest fire, illuminating the life of a Pikuni vampire and everyone he has touched, the pain of being a victim and perpetrator of violent history, and how memory serves to keep us who we are despite it all. The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is beautiful, terrifying, sad, funny, and grotesque - everything I want in a novel." - Jessica Johns
"For me and vampires, there is Stoker, there is Rice, and now there is Jones. It's harrowing, agonizing, nuanced, and downright philosophical. Very likely Jones's masterpiece." - Daniel Kraus
"A master at blending horror, suspense, and culturally rich stories that are as thought-provoking as they are spine-tingling. Jones's singular voice and exploration of identity, of trauma and survival, make every page pulse with kinetic urgency." - David A Robertson
